The UM-One is a bus-powered 1-In/1-Out MIDI interface with LED indicators for MIDI I/O signal monitoring, and integrates both USB and MIDI cables for compatibility with computer-based music systems. The UM-One features FPT processing.
The UM-One is designed for hobbyists who want to connect a MIDI keyboard to a computer, and is also good for small studios or academic settings where only one MIDI device will be connected in close proximity to the computer. In live performance settings, the UM-One can also be used to control a synth, drum machine, MIDI light set-up, master recording console, or another MIDI device from a computer.

The UM-One is available now with a suggested retail price of $49.99.
